queer_scribblingDay #9: In your own space, In your own space, celebrate a personal win from the past year: it can be a list of fanworks you're especially proud of, time you spent in the community, a quality or skill you cultivated in yourself, something you generally feel went well.
After not really posting much on AO3 for a bit, I suddenly did things in 2022.
A kinda weird not-actually-dead fic: Only Mostly Dead - Complete. Ten chapters; 8,444 words. [Gen, but you can sort of squint and see a potential Drarry moment in one chapter.]
I wrote two gifted fics for New Year's Resolution 2022.
I finished more than one work for Crack the WIP 2022.
I posted some "I hope this counts as meta" works on AO3 for March Meta Matters Challenge.
I watched the last season of Killing Eve, and let's just say that I'm tired of Redemption Through Death.
A fic with an unrequited ship and, uncharacteristic for me, a Time Travel premise: Better Mistakes - Complete. 4,571 words. Sorta the beginning of my descent into writing a particular rarepair [Sirius/Severus - see comment].
For HP Flowers 2022 Spring Round: Moonwort, For Opening Locks - Complete. 8,663 words. (Gen, but like, in a Non-Romantic Marriage and Married For Tax Benefits way.)
A fic for Dreamwith's Rarepair Hell Weekend and another fic with this Gen ship. Like, I get that it's probably tag-wrangled with the human character, but I am horribly compelled by 'this human is nice to the dog form of a person they hate'.
A self imposed challenge in October: Snack-O-Ween 2022. It cross-filled with other October events, so I have Tricks, Treats, and Trick Or Treats in my Round Up. (I wrote a drabble for the first time. I tried to incorporate Final Destination into a fic premise. I had some fun with weird premises like 'the Death Eaters are literally a Lovecraftian Cult'. Overall, not half bad.)
For HP Flowers 2022 Autumn Round: a thousand nights that end like this - Complete. Twelve chapters; 8,840 words. Every chapter has a different character's point of view and how they see (or do not see) the main tagged ship, so some chapters are more non-shippy compared to others.
I did a few cross-fills for HP Yuletide Bliss, 25 Days of Kinkmas, and Snolidays, but I wound up not getting anything done for the Panfandom Hanukkah Bingo. (Maybe I'll side-eye slash fix the Ghosts [US show] Xmas special next year....)
Works in Progress: For whatever reason, I was briefly possessed by a Rubeus Hagrid/Sybill Trelawney entry for 25 Days of Kinkmas, but I'm unsure if/when that will be finished. I put together an on the back burner tag, since I thought it might help in choosing something for a potential 2023 round of Crack the WIP. There are several options that were started in 2022, but one I didn't mention was my 'writing about knitting instead of knitting' fic: The Jumper Jinx - Currently eight chapters and 13,975 words. [It's focused on Percy after he graduates from Hogwarts, so there are several relationships, but the endgame is Percy/Oliver.]

Date: Friday, 29 December 2023 11:47 pm (UTC)The Time Travel fic [Better Mistakes] has Sirius seeing an alternate version of himself be friends with and have a crush on Severus after he accidentally gets past him sorted into Slytherin.
"Moonwort, For Opening Locks" features Sirius and Severus getting married. (Weregild would usually involve a fine or some sort of action, but this is immediately post-Halloween 1981, so Sirius is on his way to Azkaban. The tax benefits and access to Grimmauld Place are supposed to take the place of the usual weregild.)
Both of the 'this human is nice to the dog form of a person they hate' fics are Severus & Padfoot.
"a thousand nights that end like this" is Sirius/Severus, but due to the different characters' points of view, some chapters are more Sirius & Severus or outright not shippy.
The wintry cross-fills include a Secret Relationship Sirius/Severus fic, an ampersand tagged fic where Remus thinks they're together, and a gen fic that was all I could wrangle for the set up for a different more shippy premise.
There's also a variety of approaches in the Snack-O-Ween collection. Like, the take on The Corpse Bride folktale involves Severus/Lily as well as Sirius/Severus, the Posthumous Marriage | Necrogamy fic sort of meanders towards a QPP, and the Final Destination inspired fic has a Sirius/Severus crush (trying to follow Final Destination's crush/endgame ship). The bookmark is for the first chapter of a draft, so it hasn't introduced the eventual Sirius/Severus element.
